Former President Donald Trump is returning to rally in a small New Jersey city that his campaign stiffed on a five-figure police and public safety bill in 2020.

Consider that a lesson learned for Wildwood, N.J.: This time, Trump's campaign needed to pay ahead of time for the rally Trump is hosting on Saturday at Wildwood Beach.


The Trump campaign paid $54,200 for public safety and clean-up costs ahead of Saturday's rally that's expected to draw thousands of visitors, NJ.com reported.

Lisa Fagan, public information officer for the city of Wildwood, N.J., confirmed to Raw Story that the Trump campaign paid $54,200 plus an additional $150 that "covers all event costs that the city might incur."

Trump's campaign was invoiced $33,900 after a rally he hosted on Jan. 28, 2020, prompting then-Wildwood Mayor Pete Byron to plead with Trump to pay up as the city of 5,000 dealt with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Center for Public Integrity reported.

1. "Never," shouted the man-child, his fist shaking at Wildwood, N.J.

Who, or what, hasn't he stiffed out of money?

16. Stormy ?

[RAB910]

2. The Wildwood mayor is a Republican. They know they can't trust Trump to pay the bills but they still want him

to be president. MAGA supporters are beyond dangerous

6. The stupid dangerous folks are the most dangerous to our freedoms.

3. Wanna rally, Sally? Then pay the tally, or else go home and moan.

Yer choice, Heir Orangeness.

4. Every rally venue needs to do this - make Chump pay upfront for services

He's obviously NOT "good for it." He's not doing anyone a favor by selecting their town for a rally.
There are a lot of costs involved - extra police, security details, signage, garbage cleanup, etc.
Make. Him. Pay.

5. That was not very classy, classy, classy of Trump the first time arouns..

[Old Crank]

7. Plus a fat security deposit

To go along with the charges.

8. Well, he won't be posting a bond.

9. They better go to the bank that the check is drawn on and get the money today. Don't trust the con man. n/t

10. I hope the check clears! (Or Venmo / Zelle only.)

[Traurigkeit]

11. "expected to draw hundreds of visitors" - fixed their mistake

[LNM]

12. I'm thinking the thousands will be the protesters.

Trump had a rally in Mpls in 2020. There were thousands of us there.

[Traurigkeit]

13. Different kind of rally then

[SCantiGOP]

14. They should put up a billboard coming into town

Like the ones you see on the wall in some college bars: “Do not take checks from this person.”

[aggiesal]

15. That $54,200 should have been applied to the 2020 rally ...

then asked for the current fee or no rally.

[CCExile]

17. Did they add a

smeared feces cleanup fee?

[twodogsbarking]

18. He claims he didn't pay because everyone who prepares his checks is, well, in prison.
